Hi @Anonymous User 

 

The Sky Satellite service is not related and totally separate to the NowTV service so the Sky Box isn't relevant here and cannot be used on the NowTV streaming service.

 

To use the NowTV Stick you just need a stable internet service which can be from any ISP and a recommended down speed of more than 2.5Mbps.

 

Also make sure the room that you are locating the stick in has a decent wifi reception or otherwise consider a NowTV box or other NowTV supported device over Ethernet.

 

You also need to buy NowTV  monthly Passes which are categorised has Cinema, Entertainment, Sports, Kids or Hayu and you can cancel and restart the passes any time you like and you are not in a fixed contract.

 

Maybe have a read of this link below for more information about what is NowTV.

Forgot to add if you just want the stick purely for the third party Apps on the stick instead on the NowTV streaming TV service then have a read of this https://help.nowtv.com/article/do-i-need-active-pass-to-use-now-tv-box-stick

Thank you for reply, yes that has explained everything, there are a couple of channels I get with Sky that I cant access with Now tv, if I do leave Sky, but I can get them through freeview I think. Thank you for the info you posted, appreciate it.
